This 1960s French farce adapted for the English-speaking stage features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard, who has Italian, German, and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard’s apartment, at the same time. Bernard’s college buddy Robert, and his maid round out the cast.

CALIFORNIA
Forest management and wildfire prevention
In a press conference Tuesday, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke discussed forest management and wildfire prevention. Perdue avoided repeating Zinke’s recent use of the term “radical environmentalists,” but said that California’s fires have been stoked by lawsuits from environmental groups, saying that “a well managed forest is always better.” “Some environmentalists realize they have overreached” with litigation, he said. Perdue also expressed support for a wildfire prevention project endorsed by Senator Kamala Harris and others that would remove dead trees and brush from California’s forests. Perdue said he supports seeking “categorical exclusions for the removal of dead and dying trees,” saying that their removal would “keep pests and insects out to prevent more forest fires,” and that the cleaner forests would be “better for the public.”
